Sepulture Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CBCDBD| Deep in my heart as in the hollow stone | A |
| And silence of some olden sepulcher | B |
| Thy silver beauty lies and shall not stir | B |
| Forgotten incorruptible alone | A |
| - | |
| Though altars darken and a wind be blown | A |
| From starless seas on beacon fires that were | B |
| Within thy tomb with oils of balm and myrrh | B |
| For ever burn the onyx lamps unknown | A |
| - | |
| And though the bleak Novembral gardens yield | C |
| Rose dust and ivy leaf nor any flower | B |
| Be found through vermeil forest or wan field | C |
| Still still the asphodel and lotos lie | D |
| Around thy bed and hour by silent hour | B |
| Exhale immortal fragrance like a sigh | D |
